Note 1: Rinse the baccala several times and soak it in plenty of cold

water

for a minimum of 12 hours. Change the water a few times during the soaking

process. Drain well. The cod is ready to use.Note 2: See the recipe for "Italian Tomato Sauce" which

is included in this collection.Note 3: Rinse and drain the clams, being

sure they are closed tight and none are filled with mud. Bring a large pot

of water to a boil to cook the pasta. In another large pot saute the garlic in the

olive oil for 1

minute. Add the wine and tomato sauce. Simmer gently, covered, for 5 minutes.

Stir in the baccala, clams, mussels, crab claws and the fresh cod. Cover

and simmer until the clams and mussels just begin to open. Add the shrimp and squid and simmer about 2 minutes until

the shrimp turn pink and are barely cooked through. At the same time cook

the

pasta in the boiling water with

a pinch of salt until al dente. When the pasta is cooked and the seafood is

done drain the pasta well and place on a large platter. Discard any shellfish

with unopened shells. Pour the cooked seafood and 8 to 10 as a main course.

Comments: Leave it to the Italians to develop a truly delicious seafood pasta.
